Master Dashboard Login Only
Dashboard Logins under Management Folders lists all currently defined Dashboard accounts (for the current SQL Server instance). All Dashboard users can see the Dashboard Logins, but only a Master Login can create or edit the accounts. When a Master Login creates an account, it is automatically added to the database with the permissions specified. As part of the login account, each user also receives a Dashboard profile that can help the user select criteria and view recorded Spector 360 data.
To view Dashboard Logins:
Select the Management tool and the Dashboard Logins folder.
Initially, the right pane lists only the System Administrator (SA) MASTER account and one or more Service Accounts used by Spector 360 services to access the database. Once logins are defined, Dashboard users will be able to view all logins and users with SQL authentication will be able to modify their own password. Only a Master Dashboard Login will be able to modify login settings for other users.
For each account, the Dashboard Logins Management pane shows:
Display Name: The name of the user (used by the Dashboard). The Display name is set when the login is created and can be any name. By default, logins are listed in alphabetical order by Display Name.
Login Name: The name the user uses to login to the Dashboard and Database. If the login was created as Windows authentication, this will be the user's Windows login name.
Authentication: Indicates whether the login account uses Windows authentication or has an SQL Server username and password. More...
Login Type: Indicates whether the login account has Master, Standard, or System privileges. More...
Click on any column heading to re-sort the list of logins.
Before setting up Dashboard login accounts, the Master Login should consider user roles and security. Roles are set by the Dashboard Login Type and the Access privileges assigned to the login. A few login accounts you will need to define are:
A
Master Login with Database Maintenance privileges.
For security purposes, you don't want to continue logging in as System
Administrator (SA). Create a Master Login account with Database Maintenance
privileges to assign to the person who will be managing the Spector 360
Database. This person should have some database knowledge to manage database
archives, backups, restores, and other jobs, but doesn't necessarily need
privileges to view recorded data. Keep in mind, the SA account has all
database privileges and is required for some Database Management tasks.

A
Master Login to manage other accounts.
Create a Master login account for the person responsible for setting
the company-wide or department-wide Dashboard profiles
and creating other Dashboard Logins.
A
Standard Login for each Dashboard user.
Each Dashboard user should have a unique account. A Standard account
with permission to view recordings can be assigned to each person who
needs to view the Spector 360 recorded data.
Each Dashboard login should receive permission to access data for specific users and specific events (Chat/IM, Keystrokes, Screen Snapshots, etc). For example, some managers should view recordings only from users in their department, whereas executives may need to see charts showing recorded data from all users. Make sure individuals have privileges to access recordings only for the people for whom they are responsible.
